CM Siddaramaiah vows action against Microfinance firms, announces legal reforms to protect borrowers
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday said the police would take action against microfinance companies in the state if complaints are filed regarding alleged harassment in the recovery of loans.
He also mentioned that his government would establish helplines for people to report any harassment.
Addressing reporters here, he said, "If a complaint is received, we will take action against the microfinance companies. We will also set up helpline numbers for people to report any issues with these companies. I have instructed police officials to act promptly upon receiving a complaint."
